To the Skies (Curtis / Luna)

[Curtis Veen & Slity / Silvia]

Curtis smiled at Luna comment about how she needed him in one piece, he patted her back reassuringly as he continued to listen on.

"I mean insignificant wouldn't be the world I'd use, granted its out of the idea I was thinking of." He commented. He seemed to be more concerned about the word he was looking for then the environment around him now. After a minute or so he just shook it off and didn't worry about it any longer.

"Well. On the bright side, at least you're not riding Silvia on your first time flying. When she and Curtis fly it can be quite amusing sometimes." Slity responded.

Curtis smirked as he heard the dragon speak from underneath them. "Oh ya. She can be a handful. But she's getting better as time progresses." Curtis added in before he heard Luna made comment about how she was going to attempt some of the turns again. He smirked to himself and readied himself once again, just incase Luna decided to jerk the steering again.

As Luna began her turning, the wind that same from the side shortly after had Curtis thinking that Luna may just react to it like she did last time. Instead she took it fairly well before she went onto some tighter turns. Each time she turned they seemed to get tighter and tighter, Curtis sat back and commented a few times on her turning, suggesting on how to improve it with each new time. Overall Curtis was fairly impressed with how well Luna had been flying on her first time out, he was actually getting giddy almost at the thought of when she'd be able to fly on her own.

"It'll be fun when you get to fly on your own. You can fly good old Slity here, nice and calm, and I can ride crazy retard Silvia" He laughed at his own comment as he looked back down to the ground once again, " Okay. Now climb about a couple hundred feet then go back down to the ground and land for us."

Luna smiled when she heard the way Curtis and Slity described Silvia. "Yeah, she's crazy on the ground, I can't imagine what she'd be like up here! How do you even get her to listen?" she laughed thinking about Curtis trying to control the crazy little one.

She liked the idea of flying more together. She particularly liked this specific arrangement right now, she wasn't comfortable flying on her own yet. Besides, she liked the assurance of Curtis being right there holding onto her. She figured she'd eventually like to do things by herself- Slity seemed pretty reliable. All Luna needed was more practice. "Yeah, I'd like that. More practice first, though. I think I'm doing okay, but even with Slity, I don't think I'm ready for solo flying yet. Just ask me to come for practice on days when it's good for you."

When Curtis instructed Luna on how to land, she listened very carefully. She didn't want to make a mistake like last time. So a little bit of elevation, then down. "Okay, I got it." She looked around for where their house was and set the course for that direction. Pulling back on the handles, she directed him up for a moment before easing him down gently. The wind rushed by as they descended. Soon, they were within a few hundred feet from the ground "Okay Slity, you ready to land?"

He watched as they went upwards, then back down towards the village below. He put his hand on Luna's shoulders, keeping himself in his postion as he felt himself slide forward a bit in the saddle. He had more then enough faith in Luna and Slity to land safley and he doubted that anything would happen otherwise.

"No doubt about it." Slity responded as they headed down towards the village below them. As they approached closer and closer, the dragon readied himself. When they were close to two hundred feet or less, he flattened his wings out straight, allowing him to glide himself around now. To keep it easier on Luna for the first time landing, Slity did a circle around the village to slow himself down more and more slowly while he was at it. Soon enough he aimed over towards the house and glided himself right up to the side of it, feet planting firmly on the ground and a light throw forward as he suddenly stopped himself.

As they hit the ground, Curtis smiled. He slipped himself off the saddle before Luna did and he held out a hand for her to grab onto, when he felt her hand grip his he gently led her off the dragons back. He lifted his hand, bringing Lunas arm up with it and he moved around behind her and brought his hand back down, his arm wrapped around Luna now.

"So pretty good for your first time out don't you think?" He said with a raised eyebrow and a smile as he looked at Luna. "Just let me know the next time you want to go out for another flight, I really don't mind you coming along to learn."

The landing Luna managed was pretty descent. She had seen better landings, but at least it was relatively smooth. She braced herself for the jolt when they touched down, and was prepared for the little jostle. When they were at a complete stop, Curtis slid off Slity first and extended his hand for her. "Thank you, love" She smiled at him and took it as she stepped down. He put his arm around her once she was standing, she leaned into him gently. The ground felt funny beneath her feet now, gravity weighting on her heavily.

"Yeah, that was really nice... thank you for letting me tag along." he raised his eyebrow out her and she mimicked his face back to him, waiting for him to say what was on his mind. "I'm willing to come out whenever you'll have me, I love it."

Letting him keep his arm around her shoulders, she started walking toward the house. She yawed, all the excitement had made her tired- she had been the few times she had flown, but the stress of flying herself was a little exhausting, and she was ready for a nap.

Once inside, she headed upstairs and crashed, and not surprisingly, she dreamed of flying.
